The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict

(2) 4-6 Nicholas Benedict is the brilliant narcoleptic mentor of the eccentric, puzzle-loving Mysterious Benedict Society. In this story from his childhood, nine-year-old orphan Nicholas discovers a mystery but also a gang of bullies. The mystery drives the plot, the bullies add tension, and Nicholas's emotional development deepens the tenderness. Fans will be pleased with the entirely earned, feel-good ending they expect from Stewart.
